In the shade of many trees is a 12 inch circular horizontal sundial sitting on a square granite plinth. The dial plate shows solar time with Roman numerals V to VII (5am to 7pm). Half and quarter hours are shown with dots.

This is a standard commercial sundial using the hourglass with wings as the dial plate embellishment. NASS confirmed that the dial hours were drawn for a latitude of 45 degrees, not the latitude of Bowdoin College.
